Cameco’s stock on the Toronto Stock Exchange, symbol CCO, broke out on the chart on Friday, cresting through the CAD$24.50 resistance level. Cameco, despite being the industry leader in terms of uranium production, has been the laggard stock in the uranium sector. The intermediate and even junior producers – notably low-grade producers Paladin Energy (PDN-TSX)and Uranium One (UUU-TSX) – have been in a steady uptrend for weeks. The uranium price has posted two consecutive “up” weeks, with gains of $1.50 and 50 cents through mid-April. Research reports from brokerage houses have been crying for months that the gap between the spot price of $40/lb and the long term price of $70/lb must be closed.

They have a very strong financial management team, and have more than $40 million cash. Their key assets are in There are many other uranium companies with interesting stories – these four are some of the more advanced explorers and developers which should benefit from the next layer of investor attention that the uranium sector gets. And now that Cameco has broken out on the charts, that next layer is happening now. -- Posted Monday, April 27 2009 | Digg This Article | Discuss This Article - Comments: Previous Articles by Guest Authors |
